SPRAYING APPARATUS.

Specification of Letters Petent.

Patented March 2, 1909.

Application led July 17, 1908. Serial No. 444,134.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that we, KRAMER and FREDERICK KoENieKnAMER, citizens of theUnited States, residing at Cincinnati, in the county of Hamilton andState of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in-Spraying Apparatus, of which the following is a specification.

Our invention relates to apparatus for spraying white-wash, chemicals,and similar substances and mixtures.

One of its objects is to provide an apparatus adapted to be attached toan ordinary bucket or open tank and used for the above purpose.

Another object is to provide simple, reliable and eiiicient mechanismfor such purose.

It further consists in certain details of form, combination andarrangement, all of which will be more fully set forth in thedescription of the accompanying drawings, in which g Figure l is a view,partly in side elevation, and partly in section on line w w of Fig` 3.Fig. 2 is a side elevation at right angles to that shown in Fig. l, andwith part of the tank shown broken away. Fig. 3 is a secton on line c eof Fig. l. Fig. 4 is an enlarged central vertical section through thepump cylinder and valves. Fig. 5 is a perspective view ofthe agitatorblade, detached. Fig. 6 is a detail illustration of the attacln ment toan ordinary bucket.

life preferably provide a tank A of galvanized iron or enameled ware, tothe upper edge of which is attached a channeled metal band ay toreinforce the edge of the tank and form a means for firmly attaching theopera tive parts to the tank. Ifdesired however, the operative parts maybe attached to an ordinary bucket A having a wired rim a. as indicatedin Fig. 6. The operative parts are carried by or mounted upon a frame Bcarried at or near the center of the tank, and preferably slightly belowthe top edge of the tank in order that any liquid which escape or dripfrom the operative parts will lflow back into the tank. The frame B issupported relative to the tank by means of radial arms b projecting fromframe B, and having downwardly projecting lugs b. All

j of the lugs b FRANK KoENrG- bolts b2 to engage may be provided withthumb the channel of the band a or beneath the rim c. l/Ve preferhowever to provide inwardly projecting lugs t3 on two of thc arms b toengage the channel of band c or beneath the rim d', while a thumb bolton one arm l) serves to draw the lugs t3 into place and lock the frame Bto the tank. Either arrangement permits of readily attaching ordetaching the frame B as required.

C represents the pump cylinder projecting downwardly from the frame B,and preferably formed integral therewith. The pump cylinder is providedat its lower end with a screw plug c in which is mounted, preferably bythreaded engagement, a valve cage c', which cage carries a valve c2, thestem c3 of which is locked to a limited movement by means of a pin c4.

I) represents a suction pipe projecting from the plug c down close tothe bottom of the tank, in order that practically all the liquid may bedrawn from the tank into the pump.

E represents a plunger adapted to reciprocate within the pump cylinder,and is preferably packed with one or more leather cups. Any liquid whichmay pass to the top of the plunger flows over the top of frame B andreturns to the tank.

F represents the pump lever, which is pivoted at f to a standard fcarried by frame B. The pump lever is pivotally connected to a rod Gwhich is connected at its opposite end to the plunger E, whereby theoperation of the pump lever serves to reciprocate the plunger in thepump cylinder. Attached to the rod G is an arm g passing down along sidethe pump cylinder and carrying at its lowe end a blade or agitator g',which has an opening g2 for the passage of the suction pipe D, whichserves as a guide for the same. The agitator serves to keep any iinelydivided material suspended in the liquid in the tank.

II represents the outlet passage leading from the pump cylinder, thispassage is preferably 'formed in a lug or projection h formed integralwith the pump cylinder.

I represents a valve cage, preferably threaded into the upper end ofpassage H and provided with a valve t' locked to the cage with a limitedmovement relative thereto by means of a pin i through the valve stem.The valve cage I is provided with a Wrench seat J and its upper end isthreaded to receive a tee J. An air chamber K is connected to the upper'end of said tee and a flexible hose c is connected to the side of saidtee, said hose being provided at its free end with a spraying nozzle 7cand controlling valve k2. In order to prevent the plunger beingwithdrawn from the pump cylinder during the act of pumping, and topermit it being withdrawn when required for repairs, we provide a plateL attached to the frame B by a bolt, which serves to lock the plate Lwith its end Z overhanging the pump cylinder to lock the plungertherein, and when the bolt is released the plate L may be shifted topermit the withdrawal of the plunger.

M re resents a handle carried by the standar j" and adapted to be lockedthereto by a set screw. rIhe handle M serves as a convenient means forlifting the pump and tank when it is desired to carry the same fromplace to place.

The above described arrangement of parts is simple and ecient, andpermits ready access to all parts when required.

The apparatus herein shown and described is capable of considerablemodiiication without departing from the principle of our invention.

I-Iaving described our invention, what we claim is;

1. In a mechanism of the character indicated, a tank, a frame locatedwithin and slightly below the top edge of said tank and secured to saidtank by radial arms having lugs engaging and locking said frame to thetank, a pump cylinder carried by and projecting downwardly from saidframe, a plunger reciprocating within said cylinder, a pump levercarried by and above said frame, and suction and exit valves controllingthe llow of liquid through said pump cylinder'.

2. In a mechanism of the character indicated, a tank, a frame locatedover the central portion of said tank and secured thereto by radial armshaving lugs engaging and locking said frame to the tank, a pump cylinderprojecting downwardly from said frame, a plunger reciprocating withinsaid cylinder, a pump lever carried by and above said frame, suction andexit valves controlling the iiow of liquid through said pump cylinder,and a suction pipe projecting downwardly from said pump cylinder to nearthe bottom of said tank.

3. Ina mechanism ol' the character indicated, a tank, a frame rigidlysupported relative to said tank, a pump cylinder projecting downwardlyfrom said frame into said tank, a discharge passage leading up- Wardlyfrom said pump cylinder, a valve cage provided with a discharge valve,said cage being threaded into said passage and threaded at its oppositeend for connection with a hose and air chamber, an air chamber carriedby and above said valve cage, and a flexible hose having connectionbetween said valve cage and air chamber.
